The Master of Engineering at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra enables students to increase their expertise in Manufacturing Engineering, focusing on advanced principles, innovative techniques, and industry-relevant applications. This two-year, full-time master’s degree is structured around a series of core and elective units of study, each carrying a designated number of credit points. Students progressively build in-depth knowledge and technical capability across topics such as automation, production systems, quality control, operations management, and sustainability in manufacturing.
The programme features a blend of theoretical coursework and practical components, offering opportunities for project-based learning and research. In the final stages, students may undertake a capstone project or research thesis, allowing them to integrate and apply their learning to real-world manufacturing challenges. Where relevant, work-integrated learning options or professional placements may be available, connecting students with leading Australian manufacturing organisations and research centres.
Students develop advanced skills in problem-solving, systems design, process improvement, and the use of digital and automated technologies in manufacturing. The course is designed for graduates or professionals from engineering or a related background who wish to specialise further, upskill, or transition into the manufacturing sector.
International students must meet English proficiency requirements, with an IELTS Academic overall score between 6.0 and 6.5 being typical for coursework postgraduate entry. Equivalent qualifications such as TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, and Cambridge C1 Advanced are accepted by the university; applicants should refer to official guidelines for detailed requirements. Note that the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
